Automatic Unit Test Generation from Reverse Engineered Code using the Agile/ICONIX add-in
doug rosenberg
(Article originally published in SDJournal) This article presents an easy step-by-step formula that will get from code to a comprehensive test plan, that includes a complete set of unit test code, using the free Agile/ICONIX add-in for EA. Here are the 6 steps that we’ll follow: 1)Reverse engineer some code 2)Generate tests from Class Operations 3)Add test scenarios in EA’s testing view 4)Transform the test cases to test classes 5)Generate the unit test code from the test classes 6)Generate a test plan report We’ll illustrate this approach one step at a time in this article, using some reverse engineered ActionScript…

This article is intended to illustrate the advantages based on my current experience of using the Diagram Filters, functionality added in EA version 9. Two case studies/examples illustrate the purpose of Diagram Filters: 1- filter dependency connectors between provided and required interfaces on a UML Component diagram, 2- show differences between the specifications and two implementations through the use of UML State Chart diagram.

Reports based on change in many repositories of Enterprise Architect
mw
Configuration When generating documentation, the Tormigo Integration module uses the API of the Enterprise Architect program. In order to include the diagrams and linked documents (LinkedDocument) in the generated documentation, indicate the directory of the Enterprise Architect installation in your Tormigo configuration. Tormigo configuration can be opened by selecting File / Application configuration from the main menu. In the Tormigo configuration window, the "Enterprise Architect installation directory" field should indicate the path to the EA installation. Project management Tormigo Integration allows you to define projects which can be assigned to more than one repository. In order to display the…

The Tormigo Integration module also allows you to generate project documentation and scan project documentation when searching for notes to a model. The operation will find all the notes assigned to model elements in the indicated document. The condition for model element identification in a repository of a project is the inclusion of the element’s GUID number in the text to which the note refers. Presented below is an example of note assignment to a model element. You can select a large batch of text. It is important for the selection area was with the guid element. Before you can…

An antipattern is a characterization of a common software flaw. An antipattern shows what not to do and how to fix it. As you construct data models, you should be alert for antipatterns and correct them as they occur. These videos show several examples of data model antipatterns and applies antipatterns to the LDAP case study. The first EAP file is the database schema for the LDAP product. As the video explains there are 11 tables. The tables clearly define primary key field(s) and there is a consistent naming style. For example, by inspection one would suspect that ClassContainers.clsID and…

Business processes estimation with the use of activity diagrams method
mw
During design and analytical works, the necessity to calculate the parameters of a business process or to estimate the complexity of the built software arises repeatedly. Most formal methods often require quite difficult calculations. On the other hand, during analytical or design works an activity diagram is usually created, which presents, in a natural way, the components of the business process or the elements of a use case scenario. In this article, I will attempt to present how to calculate selected parameters of the business process using activity diagrams modeled in Enterprise Architect and additional tool (Tormigo). The fundamental reason…

TORMIGO - rational change report based on Enterprise Architect baseline mechanism
mw
1. Preparing baseline for the package 1.1. Select the package for which the baseline is to be created from the project repository in EA, and then from the popup menu (right mouse button) select Package Control -> Manage Baselines or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+B on the selected package. 1.2. Create new baseline in the open Manage Baselines window by clicking New Baseline button.1.3. Enter the version number in New Baseline window, that will help you identify the modelling stage at which the baseline was created. Leave the Include sub-packages checkbox selected to include nested packages. Figure 1. Adding…

Producing Living Documentation with SPARX Enterprise Architect
tadanderson
One of the most powerful side effects of the SPARX Enterprise Architect document publishing tools is that it enables the team to keep project documentation alive and current. One of the things I hear most about out of date documentation is that it is that it is out of date because it is "a living document". Guess what, out of date documentation is dead documentation, it is not living. Living documentation represents the current state of the project's architecture, designs, and implementations. The PowerPoint and video that is available for download with this article shows how SPARX Enterprise Architect can…
